They all want to control me!

Chapter 65 Confessing to Qiaoqiao

I returned to my rented room at 6:30 pm.

Lin Ran entered the room and heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen.

He was somewhat surprised. Yesterday, he had only asked Su Lingle to do housework and cook for one day, but he didn't expect her to be so conscientious today.

The smell is like stir-fried beef with celery and salt and pepper potatoes.

Lin Ran secretly went to Su Lingle's house when she was in junior high school. Her parents were not home at the time, and the two of them cooked for themselves. They made these two dishes.

"You're back?"

Su Lingle brought a plate of mixed lettuce and glanced at him in the entryway. Her caramel-colored hair was tied into a bun, and she wore a floral apron around her waist. Her hands were wet and glistening with water droplets.

She exudes a strong sense of being a housewife.

Lin Ran thought for a moment, put down his backpack, walked up to her, and placed the back of his hand on her forehead:

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

"..."

Su Lingle's smile froze, her eyes widened, and she grinned, her white teeth gleaming coldly.

"I prepared a delicious dinner for you, do you know how much those words hurt me?"

"As long as you don't have a fever, wash your hands and eat."

Lin Ran pretended not to hear and went to the restroom to wash her hands.

"...Hmph ╯^╰!"

Su Lingle was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, but she didn't say anything and turned to go to the kitchen.

When Lin Ran came out, he saw Su Lingle serving two small bowls of rice and placing them on either side of the table, while two hot dishes emitted a rich aroma.

He sat down, picked up a small potato, ate it with his rice, and said:

How about the song "The Promise of Dandelion"?

"...It sounds really good." Su Lingle looked at him as if she were looking at someone else. "You have a great talent for songwriting. Some professional singers in the industry can't write songs as well as you."

Su Lingle suddenly lost her appetite. She stirred her rice with her chopsticks, fidgeted with her hair, and kicked her legs under the table. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she kicked Lin Ran's calf, blushed, and turned her head away, saying:

"Was this song... written for me?"

"?"

If the maximum score is ten, then you have ten points that don't seem right.

I was wondering why you were acting so strangely today; it turns out it was a misunderstanding.

"No," Lin Ran said. "I recently watched a movie about childhood sweethearts, and the inspiration came from that movie."

"Is that so..."

Su Lingle breathed a sigh of relief; the things she had worried about all day were finally resolved.

When I saw the lyrics this morning, I was really shocked. The line "The promise we made growing up together, so clear, I believe it because we ticked it" made me hallucinate the scene of the two of us making a promise to go to high school together in the third year of junior high school.

Not to mention the last line, "And I can no longer tell whether you are a friend or a missed love"... That really hurts, man. I liked you, you liked me, but we really missed each other.

Thinking of this, Su Lingle felt sullen.

She thought of Jiang Qiaoqiao, that girl who was no less capable than herself, whose relationship with Lin Ran was just like hers in the past, which was originally her place.

But it's so embarrassing. It turns out it wasn't written for me, and I was still feeling sentimental and worried.

If you had just said it was a song written for me, that would have been so much better. Then I wouldn't have been a clown wasting my whole day.

But... seeing how much he enjoys my cooking makes me quite happy, hehe.

"Su Lingle, do me a favor. If you do, you can stay here anytime," Lin Ran said. "You've been in the entertainment industry, do you know anything about interesting scandals? I want to generate buzz."

"Do you need to hype up your popularity?" Su Lingle said. "With such a high number of likes on your videos, the platform will automatically promote them for you."

"You can never have too much data."

"I'll have to think about it."

After finishing her meal, Su Lingle took a pen and paper and leaned over the table to write down any scandals she knew about celebrities.

Although she rarely appears in the entertainment industry, thanks to her parents' official positions, many people flock to her to curry favor, and she indirectly learns about many scandals.

When Lin Ran came back from taking a shower, she saw that Su Lingle had written a whole sheet of paper, and now she was turning it over and writing on the back.

"The entertainment industry... truly lives up to its reputation..."

"It's alright, that's how it is in rich circles, it's just more obvious in the entertainment industry. These are all I remember, I've forgotten the others. Is this enough for you?"

Su Lingle capped her pen and pushed the paper over.

Lin Ran looked at the first one.

"Marital infidelity, outwardly loving but secretly each doing their own thing, the woman even had an affair with her agent, and still had to pretend to be loving with her husband in front of the camera."

"They swapped partners, with the woman cheating on the man and the man cheating on the woman. Later they found out that the people they were cheating with were also a married couple."

"The real and fake children: He had two girls and one boy. During a chance blood test, he discovered that none of them were his biological children. He interrogated his wife and found out that she had been having an affair with the studio boss. In order to maintain his traffic and resources, the man endured the humiliation and helped the boss raise the children."

"..."

Lin Ran closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and felt his worldview being severely shaken.

"Why are all these posts about infidelity?"

"That's interesting." Su Ling chuckled mischievously. "I've spoken to some people privately and told them their dirty secrets to their faces. Their expressions were quite amusing."

"Aren't you afraid of holding a grudge?"

"They won't dare retaliate." Su Lingle said, giving me a playful punch. "If they dare retaliate, I'll blacklist them! These dirt on me will be exposed without fail, and no one will escape!"

"The entertainment industry's underworld fits your hot girl image."

Lin Ran searched through numerous scandals for information that could be exposed.

It has to be something that everyone knows, but no one dares to say, because saying it won't offend the other party.

Moreover, it's not necessarily my responsibility to say it.

Lin Ran glanced at Su Lingle out of the corner of her eye, and an idea struck her. She could also use Su Lingle's influence.

Back in his bedroom, he used a secondary account to film a live stream announcement, falsely claiming to be an industry insider and promising to expose a scandal in the industry the following night.

"Coral Sea" is still trending on social media, so the video's views surged as soon as it was released.

As for why we don't use our main account, firstly, we don't have the resources to invest in our secondary account, and secondly, our secondary account only has "secretly filmed" videos, which can be used to attract traffic.

8 PM.

Lin Ran calculated the time; it was almost time for Su Lingle to take control of her body.

That said, her wish to "find her original intention for songwriting" is still at 0% progress. What exactly is that original intention?

tick tock...

Lin Ran's vision went black.

Su Lingle stood up and looked around: "I've taken control of your body again? That's amazing."

"right."

"What are we going to do today?" Su Lingle sat down again.

"Review your studies, then go to the hospital for surgery tomorrow."

Just as Su Lingle opened the book "Blue Love Story" on the table, her phone, which was lying face down on the table, suddenly rang.

ding dong~

Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat... It seemed like the message came from Jiang Qiaoqiao at this time.

Su Lingle had already picked up her phone.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: Are you asleep?

Su Lingle, who was unhappy because she had to study, immediately perked up and typed on the screen with her two thumbs.

Lin Ran: I'm not asleep. Did you need something?

Lin Ran suddenly had a bad feeling: "Why did you reply to my message without my permission?"

"What's the big deal? Jiang Qiaoqiao just asked if you were asleep, and I asked her what was wrong. It's normal." Su Lingle frowned slightly. "Why are you making such a fuss over a message? I didn't say anything out of line."

She had barely finished speaking.

My phone suddenly started ringing.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: You're not Lin Ran. When I ask him if he's asleep, he never tells me the truth.

Jiang Qiaoqiao: Who are you? Did you get Lin Ran's phone? Or... are you with Lin Ran in some mysterious way?

"Jiang Qiaoqiao: I'm giving you three seconds to make a video call to me, or my bodyguards will be knocking on your door within a minute."

Su Lingle was stunned when she saw this series of messages.

What the hell? I replied to a message and I was exposed?

Where did this girl come from?!

"Do you know you were wrong?" Lin Ran said quietly.

"...I understand," Su Lingle said timidly, instantly losing her confidence.

Lin Ran knew very well that Jiang Qiaoqiao was meticulous and would become alert if there was even the slightest mistake regarding his affairs.

I originally wanted to tell Jiang Qiaoqiao about Su Lingle's control over her body later, but now it seems I can't hide it anymore.

Lin Ran said helplessly:

"Don't just stand there, call Jiang Qiaoqiao and confess about controlling my body. She was the last person to control me."
